Students who receive an F (Fail) or a U (Unsatisfactory) grade in a required course must repeat that course in order to earn a passing grade. Students may also repeat a failed elective course at their discretion. Students may retake a course one time only. Students who fail a required course twice will be dismissed from the university. This policy is not subject to appeal.

The grade awarded for the second attempt (whether higher, lower, or the same as the first) is used to compute the grade point average. Both course registrations and grades, however, remain on the transcript record.
